Mr. Gaughen formerly of 212 Avalon Drive would like to know if Avalon complied with the violation order
dated 8/29/17 and what type of action would be taken by the Board of Health if Avalon did not comply.
Mr. Gaughen would also like a timeline of when the violations were corrected. Bob Egan, Cohasset

Bob Egan visited 25 Ripley Road with the Cohasset Police Department. The heat had been shut off and
electric service was pulled away from the house. The landlord repaired electric service and the heat was
turned back on.
7:42 P.M. Status of Health Director Position
Lisa Uglialoro, Town of Cohasset Human Resources, reported that the hiring committee interviewed 2
candidates for the Board of Health Agent position. Mr. Lawrence questioned why the position is a Public
Health Agent and not a Director of Public Health. Mr. Lawrence doesn't like that the position is being
taken apart, downgraded, and the town would be without a Director of Public Health. Ms. Uglialoro
explained that we split up the Director of Public Health and fielded it out. This allows us to get someone
in here that's willing to take over as a Health Agent and then the Agent can get the proper certification to
do more. Mr. Lawrence said he would discuss this further with Chris Senior,Town Manager.
